Kabuki Theatre Law

Conservative Court my a, er, foot!
US Supreme Court blocks the Trump administration’s use of Alien Enemies Act
SCOTUS ruled in an unsigned decision (cowards) by a whopping 7 to 2 margin that Trump must have hearings and trials for each and every one of the probably 30 MILLION illegal aliens he seeks to deport.
I must ask, why is the Court now demanding an impossible legal burden on the directing of foreign policy by the President of the United States? They have ruled in the past that this is outside of the scope of the Coourt. Remember, these are NOT American citizens, nor do they play them on t.v. (well, maybe they do the latter). As such they do not have the right to access the legal system as do citizens. Their rights are limited.
Let me ask; did the Court rule this way against Harry Truman when he evicted 2 million, or against Dwight Eisenhower when he evicted three? Did they demand hearings for everyone deproted under Barack Hussein Obama?
Were there legal precedents restraining the deportation of Irish back in the 19th century?
This ruling is legally novel and not at all rooted in American law or American tradition.
In 2023 this same court affirmed that Joe Biden had final authority over immigration and enforcement when conservatives sued to make him enforce the laws on the books. In fact SCOTUS said they had no authority to restrain him. So why have they changed now?
Only Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito dissented.
What can you say about the rest? I have never trusted any of them; I openly opposed John Roberts as a Deep Stater when he was elevated, and I knew the three Trump appointees were also deep from the bowels of the Progressive insiders club. Coney-Barrett has proven herself to be one of the good old boys club, and the Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch always worried me. Now we know; they are all clones, Ruling Class stooges. Sadly these stooges aren't so funny. I prefer Moe, Larry, and Curly.
The Court gave Trump a couple of wins earlier in the year, and so I figured they would pull the big shaft on him.
From the Al Jazeera article:
Granted, this is still only a temporary injunction and the Court may eventually rule in Trump's favor but when?
This makes me very, very suspicious; it kicks the can down the road, probably until after the mid-term elections. That way the Republicans don't get the benefit of having evicted all these people as they promised and the media will say Trump broke his vow. If they ruled on it now many of these illegals would be gone and Trump could say "mission accomplished". Also, many of these illegals are going to vote in the next election despite it being illegal. You know that is true.
I've long argued our governmental system is rigged in such a way as to keep politics balanced on a knife-edge. The reason is it empowers those in power; nobody dares kick out the Ruling Class because otherwise the opposition gets into power. We are seeing that now with that rotten little punk David Hogg who is being forced out by the Democrats for challenging the status quo. I get it; I'd kick him out too were I they. But the point is he was trying to radicalize the party and they know that would be a mistake. They've long operated on this principle of being in power but not by too much lest it galvanize the enemy.
Sun Tzu put it thusly; the general should always leave a Golden Bridge of Retreat lest the enemy fight to the death. So the key to the Ruoling Class staying in power is to keep the fight really close but the left always winning, especially with their policy initiatives. And that has been the pattern all my life; Democrats are the aggressors and Republicans try to hide and hope they can survive the onslaught. Guys like John Thune or Mitch McConnell (or in this case John Roberts) will talk a good game and use the closeness of the political process to keep the voters on their sides while actively working against our wishes.
I think this shows SCOTUS is a Deep State entity.
So why did Trump's appointments wind up sucking? Because he listened to the Federalist Society, which is more Libertarian than anything. Many of it's members call themselves moderates. It's increasingly obvious they were giving Trump some very bad advice.
At any rate his picks have all betrayed America at some point. The two true conservatives left on the Court remain ever faithful, but they are outnumbered by the ambitious Deep State scoundrels, alas.
Trump is right; he cannot give 30 MILLION people court hearings, and he can't hold them for years awaiting those hearings. This was why 'catch and release' was started in the first place; the courts ruled they couldn't hold these people indefinitely but they also couldn't kick them out of the country. So Kavanaugh and Gorsuch and Barrett and Roberts have simply reinstated catch and release with this ruling.
Trump needs to house the worst of these people he's trying to evict next door to every Justice who joined in with this ruling. Make them live with the consequences of their actions. He can buy those houses that surround the Justices homes and make them group-living centers for illegals. Then those jerks would get a taste of what so many Americans have had to endure.
Again, this is a novel legal theory they have embraced and it really should not be obeyed.
BTW the American Civil Liberties Union filed the original complaint; I'd like to know how they have standing in this case? whenever our side files such lawsuits they are always denied based on standing but when leftists with no actual connection to the case file the courts bend over backwards to allow it.

From the Al Jazeera article:
The justices asserted that they had a right to weigh in on the case, in order to prevent "irreparable harm” to the migrants and assert their jurisdiction in the case. Otherwise, they pointed out a deportation could put the migrants beyond their reach.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh went a step further in a separate opinion, calling on the Supreme Court to issue a final and binding ruling in the matter, rather than simply grant this one petition.
"The circumstances call for a prompt and final resolution, which likely can be provided only by this Court,” he said, agreeing with the majority’s decision.
Thomas and Alito, in their dissent, argued the Supreme Court had not afforded enough time to a lower court to rule on the emergency petition.
